T required a great amount of 
courage to launch a new work 
on the art of Drawn Work, 
when there were others already 
upon the market. The fact that 
the work was to be in color was 
a sufficient excuse for its exist- 
ence. It was produced. Its rapid 
exhaustion and the many flatter- 
ing compliments made a second 
and a larger edition necessary. The second edition was 
produced, enlarged and revised. So phenomenal and so 
rapid was the sale of the second edition, that a new edition 
was demanded. 

The number of this, the third edition, has been greatly 
increased and revised. A new feature of the third edition 
is a series of vexed and other questions asked by students 
and former patrons, and answered throughout the book by 
executing the work. 



A Treatise on Modern Drawn Work 



IT is with a grateful heart to patrons of my former hooks for their kind words of appreciation and 
encouragement that I present this, the third edition, hoping my earnest desire to please both 
former and future patrons will meet with approval.

'ersian Pattern. 



npHIS design is suitable for stand cover, centerpiece for polished table or decorations of dresser cloth. 
Arrange size to suit article to be made. The thought here presented lacks hem or fringe, which 
should be added. Either should be from one and one half to two inches wide. Draft borders of right 
width by gauging buttonholing asshown in description No. 4. Complete buttonholing before threads are 
removed. Draw threads lengthwise. Do all hemstitching before adjusting to frame. In first border, 
which is one half inch wide, clip linen threads against buttonhole edge, forming squares, leaving six 
or seven threads between each square to be wrapped in filo 'n'lA' 1 2V0V Through these silken cords are 
laid three outlining threads, three from one edge to the other of buttonholing, and one from corner to 
corner of square. Webs are then woven. The colored plate plainly shows the method of weaving; 
also the laying of outlining threads. The center of each web, except corner one, is done with filo, 
."„'„',. The outer colors vary: In one, use green filo, 2 8 7 °8 5 2! finish with rose, 8 6 g 8 o 7 i! m tne other, use

threads and linen threads which are divided in half, weaving with filo, ._,"„', ,', ; bind outlining threads 
in center of space with knottings of pink, 2 5 4 7 7 s . In narrow border of fans, threads are removed as in 
first border ; wrapping and outlining executed in same manner. After outlining threads are bound 
in center of space, use four threads for handle of fan ; the remainder for fan proper. In one border 
the handles and center of fans are woven with filo green, jVss! finished in pink, ./'.,y ; ; in the other bor- 
der, with pink, _,VW and green, 2 7 4 5 5*i" '^' le s P a ce between narrow border divides into three parts, leav-

with 2 6 8 8 oV One outlining thread is carried each way through jewels ; on these threads and linen 
strands divided. Webs are woven on wrong side around jewels. Color used for webs in one row is 
pink, ,/'./;;'-;, against rose; then green, A A,, finished with AAi • In the other row every alternate web is 
different. For one against jewel use J,- s \ , .. V..- ; ; finished with AAA for the other, use AAA AV7 : fin-

First Steps — Drawing of Threads. 




N... 1. FIRST STEI'S-IMi \ WIN<; (il THREADS 



r T A IlkKK thoughts are to be con- 
-*- sidered in the beginning steps 
of Drawn Work. First, what shall I 
make? Second, the dimensions of 
the piece. Third, the material to be 
used. Choose patterns from the 
book, then follow descriptives closelj 
as dimensions and materials will be 
given. 

Cut No. i demonstrates the draw- 
ing of the threads as in a border; 
draw likewise for hemstitching, only 
fewer threads. In drawing for hem 
measure width of hem required and 
draw threads the entire length. In 
regulating the space the better way 
is to measure, as the width will be 
more accurate. After threads are 
lifted the following work will "be 
hemstitching and buttonholing. "TZS 



N 



O. 2, 



Hemstitching. 



THE placing of the needle 
and the lifting of threads 
are the principal thoughts. 
Heavy threads and materials 
were used that just how 
the work was done might be 
clearly seen ; the hem, as it 
was turned over to edge of 
drawn space, was held in place 
with a black thread, plainly 
seen. The thought arises, 
Shall the work be done on the 
right or wrong side? The 
author prefers the wrong side 
for neatness ; can be done 
from either] side. Hold the 
work ^firmly over the first finger with thumb "and^second finger; the upper needle is lifting the threads, 
showing the first step; thejower is finishing the work by binding the thread into the linen. Be careful 
not to catch too deep ; do not count ; simply lift sufficient threads not to draw the linen. 




HEMSTITCHING. 



A Treatise on Modern Drawn Work 



No. 7. Style of Frame with Piece Adjusted. 

pY the use of the l>ar frame your work is held in place and always ready to apply the needle ; in fact, 
it is the only way to do Drawn Work successfully. This style of frame is now being adopted by 
embroiderers everywhere. Its advantage is plainly seen. When the work is adjusted it can be held 
thus until completed ; also sponging and pressing can be done to advantage while in the frame; by the 
use of this frame your work is not mopped around, but will present a clean appearance until finished. I >ue 
does not hesitate to show their work to visitors, when, if in a badly soiled condition, we would not take 
the same interest, and certainly be ashamed to show to friends. The work in this cut has been carried on 
step by step, proving that if the entire piece is before us, we have the opportunity of changing our work, 
thus not becoming tired, as a change of work is rest. In this is represented several new styles of work : 
The wrapped work, covering the linen thread with filo silk of any color desired. This gives you an en- 
tire silk border. In one section the linen threads are not all drawn, showing how threads are left to be 
wrapped. Observe the needle binding these threads at sections, using knot stitch ; this fust binding will 
be covered, and is only done to hold the threads in place. Next, choose your color for wrapping ; start 
thread in buttonhole edge on wrong side, also wrap from wrong side by bidding finger against linen 
threads, slipping needle round and round until entirely covered from one section to another ; do not try 
to use other than filo silk, as it will not wrap so smoothly. After the wrapping is completed, smooth 
knottiugs, called jewels, arc placed on each section where wrapped cords cross; also use filo for jewels. 
Outlining threads are then laid. A needle is placed, showing the laying of threads through these silk 
cords, one each way and one diagonally through the jewel, making eight threads, when bound, on which 
to weave. Spider webs were woven, as shown in the finished border, using color for webs to please fancy. 
In this, white and green were used. The corners were opened by cutting out plain linen square against 
buttonhole edge, threads of Spool silk, letter A, were laid diagonally each way from buttonholing ; lay as 
regular as possible, allowing the size of corner to regulate number of threads ; bind to the center with 
knot stitch ; weave figures. Always analyze a corner or any figure in this way. Count threads around 
the outside edge, then look to center to see how many parts the figure has, taking Up or dropping threads, 
which is very easily done. The inside finish, or what you notice next to buttonholing, is termed saw- 
toothing; this is done by bringing the needle up between the outlining threads, loop back over the thread 
and take needle down through buttonhole edge; repeat this until the space between threads is filled; do 
not draw very firmly. In this are the most difficult styles of work. The author kindly cautions her 
patrons to study carefully each thought, for each and every thought gained here will be of great benefit 
us you advance through tile book.

PIECK IN FRAME. 



Notb— We udvise all of our readers to buy one of these frames, since they can^be used^for either Drawn Work or 
embroidery; also observe how piece is adjusted to frame, two sides being basted to tapes, other edges laced over bars.

No. 8. Threads Lain for Corners and Border. 




No, 8. THREADS LAIN I-Olt CORNERS ANIJ BORDER. 



HAVE had the question asked, How do you lay the threads for corners and borders? Notice that 
-■- parts of each style of work is unfinished. This will explain that the threads are lain diagonally 
across the border for figures, same as in corner for corner figures. In arranging threads in this way the 
work will not draw. After the figures are woven each thread is long sufficient for its place. In one cor- 
ner space, the proper way of laying foundation threads are shown. In another, after threads are lain, 
they are bound to a center and woven around three times, ready for figure weaving. In the third a wheel 
figure is partly woven, showing more plainly than words can tell how work is done. Notice this wheel 
complete as a heading of one of the first pages. The saw-tooth finish at edge of buttonholing is ex- 
plained with the working of four teeth ; simply loop the thread over the outlining thread, each time carry- 
ing thread down in buttonhole edge ; repeat until small points are formed. In the border foundation threads 
are lain across the linen strands, using the knot stitch in binding same; the figures are woven same as 
corner studies— usually smaller. In this figure the pineapple is imitated with an odd corner figure ; all 
buttonholing and hemstitching to be done before adjusting to frame. 



A Treatise on Modern Drawn Work 



No. 9. Continued Border Studies. 




wxMmsasssmEm 



CONTINUED BORDER STUDIES 



IT is very necessary that the rudiments of all Border work be thoroughly explained. The different 
ways of laying threads for borders are shown. Notice the very narrow border, how threads are 
knotted on alternate strands of linen and looped around the other one — the web figure woven when the 
thread is looped around. This border is very firm, and suitable for all styles of work. In the border, 
where threads are lain as in corner, the linen was cut close to buttonhole edge, forming square open space, 
leaving a narrow band of linen threads between each to be wrapped. After being wrapped the outlining 
threads were carried through these cords, as shown, and figures woven to fancy. The other borders are 
very clearly explained in the laying of threads and the carrying on of the weaving of patterns. Too 
many words in explanation only confuse : better to study cuts well. 



A Treatise on Modern Drawn Work 



No. 10. Shirt Waist and Handkerchief Borders. 




No. II). SHIRT WAIST AND II ANOK ERCHIEI- BORDERS. 



HAYING been solicited many times for borders suitable for sbirt waists and handkerchiefs, in these 
you will find six that will show prettily, very easy of execution and laundry well. Regulate materials 
to the article made. Only let me add, use fine goods, both material and thread, if beauty of work is desired. 
These borders are left in arrangement so thoroughly explaining themselves that further explanation is 
unnecessary, except in the one of block design. In this the jewel as a center of figure may puzzle. The 
buttonholing was the first work done. The border was then divided into three parts the long way, and 
square the other, leaving six or seven threads of linen running each way of border. Jewels are made on 
each section. Then the outlining threads are lain on either side of jewel both ways of border and fasten- 
ing in buttonhole edge. The star figure is then woven around the jewel dividing linen half and half, 
weaving on half of linen and one thread, until eight points are formed. After the figures are woven the 
outlining threads are bound to a center with a smooth knotting. All work should be in a bar frame, 
stretched before outlining threads or jewels are lain. The jewels are formed by first laying a few threads 
as a foundation, then covering over smoothly, leaving the threads in a broad fashion as an embroidered 
jewel. Do work from wrong side ; your work will be more smooth ; also lay outlining threads from 
wrong side. 



\ Treatise on Modern Drawn Work 



No. ii. Drawn Work in Circular Style. 














No. ii. DRAWN wohk is i i m i I. \i: - i . I i 



THE question has been asked, Can Drawn Work be done successfully in circular style? In this cut 
you will learn that it can. A copy of the piece was taken before the entire work was completed that 
the full details would he clearly explained by the work itself. Alter buttonholing is complete and piece 
adjusted to frame the linen is drawn. Circle was opened in liar fashion, the openings being one half inch 
square, with six or seven linen threads left either way of piece. In lour parts of the circle you will 
notice some of these linen threads are wrapped. (See cut No. 7 for wrapping I Next, jewels are placed 
over all sections when linen threads cross. Outlining threads are then lain two and two either side ol 
jewels, figures and wehs woven on linen and outlining threads around jewels except when wrapping is 
done, then the little figures are woven in open space. After figures are woven the outlining threads are 
bound to a center, with a smooth little knot. Care must he taken in opening circular work to lift the 
threads that arrange the bars before any cutting is done, then cut only the wide spaces next to button- 
holing. This pattern was arranged with three sizes of circles, the largest being 17 inches, the next 10 
inches, the inner one '1 inches, making the open circle 2 inches. Scollops were formed with a glass. No 
talk on this design is needed as the cut talks for itself. Persian silk No. A'A f° r white, green, EE 
wash embroidery, No for French knots and wrapping. Spool silk letter A, white for outlining.

\ S the cut represents the work plainly, the size and material will claim attention, kindly asking patrons 
-*"*• to study designs when weaving. Size of doily, seven inches ; fringe, one inch ; margin between 
fringe and work, one half inch. Divide center into seven parts either way, removing four parts each 
way. By the drawing of these threads, linen squares are formed. Hemstitch around these squares, 
that the .same number of linen strands are on all sides. Five outlining threads bind these strands, two 
and two each way of piece. After threads are thus lain bind in center of open space, and weave designs 
to please fancy. Three designs are shown in this doily. Use filo *oVn or 7°° Hnen thread. Re- 

move from frame and fringe.

Si; IHKEE BOKDERS INITED. 



TX this design three borders are united in a border for lunch-cloth. Square linen the required size. 
This was forty-four inches; hem, one and three fourths inches; measure twice the width of hem and 
gauge by drawing threads for first small border, which is three fourths inch wide; hemstitch on both 
sides before drawing for wide border, which is one and one fourth inches wide ; buttonhole around 
corners and hemstitch space between ; border, three eighths of an inch ; third border, three fourths inch ; 
buttonhole corner and hemstitch. The piece is now ready to adjust to frame. In case pieces are too 
large for frame, adjust one fourth. The narrow borders each have five outlining threads; cross the 
corner diagonally ; the one is divided into four parts, the other into eight parts. The wide border has 
nine outlining threads, six strands of linen being bound together. This border is broken by web figures. 
The corner is divided into eight parts, using five threads to each. Use 80 cotton for hemstitching, Cor- 
ticelli spool silk, pearl white, letter A, for outlining, using filo ^'^ I ,V *, for weaving. Plain satin 
damask was used.

threads are shown where no fan figures are woven. Care was taken that clusters of eight linen strands 
were grouped each tying, and three outlining threads were knotted over each of these groups. Width of 
border one and one half inches. Any border found in the book could be used for the purpose. Fringe 
the linen close to buttonholing or hemstitching, then tie in knots to form divisions as shown. Care should 
be taken to tie regularly each tie; also to divide the linen threads evenly. Use linen thread No. 300 for 
the weaving.

TN this study are the uniting of three borders — a trimming for shirt waist. Many borders through- 
-*- out the book can be used for the same. Great care should be given in choosing of fine materials 
and doing the work well. The figures are SO plainly given and of simple construction, explanations 
of materials, width of borders, and manner of outlining will claim attention. For fronts of waist, the 
first thought is calculating for hem ; then the margin between hem and work Width of narrow bor- 
der, one half inch, with three outlining threads; web figure woven in space between groups of linen 
threads. Wide border, one inch wide, with linen strands bound in groups; then six outlining threads

Willi B I A III li CENTER. 



SO MAN'V have asked for an odd drawn border. This piece clearly demonstrates the odd border. 
Alter the Straight borders are -.ttulii.*! size of piece can be arranged to answer purpose. A twenty- 
seven inch square is very desirable for m. my uses. If hem be used, have same width as fringe, which is 
two inches; a margin of one fourth inch between fringe and fir>t border. Width of wide border, one 
and one half inches, with seven outlining threads lain through, knotted on every alternate group of 
linen strands and looped around the other group. A circular figure is formed around the group, where 
threads are looped, by knotting thread regularly to linen strands and outlining threads; three circles are 
formed, with a tooth finish to the last ; the comer figure is woven after threads are bound to a center; 
beginning to weave on lour threads, making eight such parts. Finish as shown. A margin of three eighths 
between first and second border. Width of small border, one half inch, with three outlining threads; 
the center thread is double, and is divided as thread is lain either side of center. The squares in odd 
border are three fourths inch, and are drawn to arrange three squares, then one inside and outside of two 
center rows. Six linen threads are left between each square. Pour outlining threads are knotted on 
linen threads running each way of border; three styles of figures are woven, cut showing plainly how 
all are executed. The work was done witli linen thread No. 700. The piece would be beautiful in color.

worked in color. In giving descriptions, the colors will be arranged and numbers given. The same ar- 
rangement of piece would be equally pretty in white. The greater part of the work shown has been de- 
scribed in the first pages. Next thought will be given in size, materials and numbering of silks. Hem

qpHIS engraving presents a style of border work very attractive, durable and easily accomplished In 
this the materials are of white. This same style of work on gray linen would be most beautiful 
with colors of silk to harmonize with furnishings of room in which to be used. Size of piece from 
which cut was taken, twenty-five inches; fringe, one and one half inches; width of narrow border one 
half inch ; wide border, one and one half inches. Threads should be drawn and hemstitching completed 
before adjusting to frame. Only one binding thread is used in small border. A sufficient number of 
threads laid .11 corner to weave figures, five outlining threads prepare the wide border for weaving the 
hrst threads, binding the linen strands in center of border, knotting eight of the strands together The 
remaining four outlining threads bind linen strands, first on one side of center threads, then on opposite 
side, leaving every alternate group of linen strands unbound. These are wrapped in two silken cords 
taking four strands in each. By counting threads in corner figure, forty are observed Then look to 
center Count parts into which divided. Ten is the number. Thus four threads are taken for each 
part Weave all ten parts a certain length, then add the curve weaving last, dropping and taking up 
threads as shown. For-get-me-nots were scattered in the corner of linen. Use filo silks for all work but 
hemstitching and outlining. Use fine cotton and spool silk.

' I "^HE uniting of blossoms and drawn work form a pretty creation, especially if the colors of blossoms 
are carried throughout the work. The blossoms should be given first thought. Choose as nature re- 
quires. Afterward these same colors can be woven in figures of drawn work, the only care required is 
not to weave the darker or very light shades together. Tlie size ofpiece^ materials used, and the work, 
will next be given attention. Size of piece can be regulated to suit the worker. The original piece is 
twenty-five inches, with a hem of one and one half inches, finished with double hemstitching; a margin of 
one fourth inch between hem and first border. Style of work in first border is explained in cut No. 9. 
The filo used is pink and green of the sweet pea shades. A margin of one fourth inch between first border 
and pyramids. In this margin small embroidered jewels of pink and dark rose. The corner squares are 
three inches, with a narrow border, one half inch around. This border is explained in cut No. 9. The 
center figure or corner is explained in cut No. 8. Two pyramids of drawn work are arranged between each 
corner. Size of open space in pyramids one half inch, with six or seven linen threads between each space 
as a foundation for fringe. Kntire piece can be arranged when the buttonholing is planned. Buttonhole 
with white filo, ./ , 1 „ 4 1 . Other colors may be selected from color card when blossoms are chosen. Select at

SPOOL SILK 



SELECT your sewing materials with care. 
Any sewing for which you use silk at 
all deserves good strong silk. For 
sixty-five years Corticelli Silk has held the 
world's record for superiority, having won 40 
Highest Awards in the United States and 
abroad. No other silk ever received one 
half the like honors. If you are not satisfied 
with what you are using why don't you try 
"Corticelli?" When you go shopping don't 
simply say " a spool of silk," but make the 
clerk give you "Corticelli," or go to another 
store. When you want silk for fancy work 
always see that your dealer gives you Corti- 
celli, Filo Silk, Persian Floss, Twisted Km 
broidery Silk or Corticelli Mount Mellich Silk.

No. 55. Sideboard Cover 

AS we have been studying diriing- 
- room decorations, let me add a 
suggestion for a sideboard cover, Ar- 
range linen the size of top, using hem 
or double fringe. The borders here 
represented were drawn the same width, 
three fourths inch, allowing space be- 
tween of two inches. In this space 
were scattered forget-me-nots. The 
borders cross in corners, forming a 
square of linen on which are embroid- 
ered Honiton braid. In this you will 
notice the unison with which drawn 
work, Honiton braid and embroidery 
are united. The fancy stitch at edge 
was made to secure a second thickness 
of linen ; this is done to double the 
fringe. Haste on wrong side. Outlin- 
ing with 80 cotton ; weaving with 
linen ; embroidering Honiton braid with 
filo ',:': , ! « Vil forget me-nots with filo 
AVii stems, filo ./.,' ; s -,; fancy stitch 
with EE wash silk. Use damask linen.

BORDER I <>K TABLE CI.OTH. 



HERE is shewn a very plain but handsome thought for table-cloth or lunch-cloth. The border, 
of seven small hands of hemstitching, is broken by clusters of roses embroidered on the linen 
Gauge width of hem by drawing only two threads, baste hem very true to drawn threads, using heavy 
paper for rose pattern. Draft roses on same linen a-- cloth, cut out, baste in clusters, and embroider with 
Corticelli filo silk. This done, draw threads for bands just to the roses. Cut threads and hemstitch. 
Allow a space of from twelve to fourteen inches between clusters. Width of hem, two inches; width 
of border, two and one half inches. Size of cloth, three yards long, two and one fourth wide when 
done. Damask or plain linen is suitable. Turn to No. 43 for rose pattern. 



A Treatise on Modern Drawn Work 



No. 58. Stand Cover in Blue. 



7 N this cover is shown a style of work that can not fail to please. The work is very elaborate, the 
harmony of color grand. The delfts of blue are progressive" in their shadings, with a tinted corner of 
lavender, rose and pink. Care has been taken in giving size and width of border and numbers of silks, 
that the piece may be a facsimile of the original. First, let me urge choosing a fine, even, round-threaded 
pillow case linen. One would not care to do the amount of work required and always regret not having 
selected fine linen. Square linen, twenty-seven inches if fringe is used. If hem, the width of hem larger, 
than twenty-seven inches will be the size with hem basted. Fringe or hem one and one half inches; 
space between this and first border, one half inch. First border, three fourths inch ; second border, one 
inch ; third border, seven eighths inch. Wide border, or one divided into seven parts, three inches. 
The entire piece can be drafted by drawing threads for buttonholing, as explained in No. 4; buttonhol- 
ing done before removing threads. In first border, threads are drawn only lengthwise; hemstitch finely 
against buttonholing. Then linen strands are bound with three threads, binding strands two and two, as 
shown. Threads in second are first drawn lengthwise, then divided into squares, leaving six threads 
between each space to Vie wrapped. Five outlining threads are laid through these cords, and six from 
one buttonhole edge to the other. When bound in center there are twenty-two threads on which to 
weave figures. Remove threads in third as in first: also hemstitch to buttonholing. Three outlining 
threads bind this border, first binding three in center, then one and two, as is plainly shown. The 
inside border wrapped and jewel work, with outlining threads, webs and figures woven in spaces. 

First let me ask you to study carefully the explanations of how the wrapped work should be pre- 
pared and carried out in No. 7. as given. The width of this border is three inches, and divided into seven 
parts one way, and threads removed the other way to form true squares, leaving six or seven threads 
between spaces each way to be wrapped, Wrap and jewel sections, then lay three outlining threads through 
the silk cords each way. When bound in center the threads number twelve, on which three tows of webs 
and four rows of small figures are woven, except squares ot spaces in corners, in which fans are woven, 
the inner ones in a dainty lavender, the outer point of pink and rose. Numbers of silks will here be 
given ; Buttonhole with filo ' K '!\"\"' /YY, : wrapping in second border with filo jYso! figures in this border, 
except corner, with filo v/Vi a »d 2 T tVo! corner figure with *** a ; webs in corner of first border with /YVi : 
figures in corner of third border with 2 7 7 8 s 8 oS the wrapping with jVso! jewels in white filo 2 VoV Blues in 
wide border are as follows: „Y\ ; „. y ; YV jY, : ' : . _. 7 ,'',\. /,-" .';• aVsV Lavender for fans in corner, g 7 e 2 g 5 , pink, 
rose, 2*4 T iV Buttonholing threads drawn lengthwise, and hemstitching should be completed before 
ready for frame. Outline with spool silk, letter A ; sponge and press on wrong side, remove and fringe. 
The fringe was backed with double KK wash silk, fastened to first row of buttonholing. Brush fringe 
with a wire brush. Trim depth of linen fringe.

BORDER WORK would be the term applied to the piece here shown. While pure white is most 
suitable for sideboard decorations, yet the work executed in color would make it very appropriate 
for polished tables, mantels or bedrooms. Size of piece, the lucky thirteen inches ; fringe one and one 
half inches ; hem can be substituted ; first border, one and one half inches wide, with eleven outlining 
threads. This we term a broken border, as figures are of different weaves, corners are divided into 
ei^ht parts, and plainly shown how weaving is carried out. Second border is one inch wide, with sim- 
ply outlining. The corners are woven first in webs, then divided into four parts, lastly into twelve. 
Should you desire color, mingle a dainty pink, green and white.

Tailless Cats from the 
Isle of Man. 




THIS little story of the Manx cats is told 
for the pleasure of patrons. The cut 
represents a beautiful specimen of the Manx. 
One year old, weight 12 pounds. This kit- 
ten was given the author, when at the Pan 
American. Much pleasure has been derived 
from watching the pranks of the cat. Pana 
jumps like a rabbit, sits in a crouching 
position in cut, will leap several feet in the 
air. Nothing seems too high for him to sur- 
mount. Will play at race, follows like a 
dog and answers to a whistle instead of a 
call, fur fine as silk, and a most famous rat- 
ter. 

Some of the articles of food are beet 
pickle, sauer kraut, corn on cob, rice soup, 
prefers beef uncooked, will not eat pork, 
fond of fish and oysters, drinks milk. 
These cats were first brought to this country 
by Fred Boyde, a Manxman, who had been 
to the Isle of Man, his home, on a visit. 
They traveled across the ocean in a cage, 
duty free, for the pleasure of passengers. 
There were two in number, Glory and John. 
Glory was a jet black cat and worth a pot of 
money, as her parents were noted prize 
fighters. John was a fine specimen, de- 
scribed to be marked like Pana The Manx cats are becoming very scarce and command high prices. It is feared that 
w.thin a few years they will become extinct, as tourists are carrying them off, and they mix with other varieties. At the 
last cat show in London, England, a Manx carried off the prize. The legend of the tailless cats is that they were late 
getting into the Ark, and Noah slammed the door on them, cutting off their tails, which never grew again.
